Wood Auger Bit Condor CON-XDS-2308 — 8 x 230 mm, spiral drill for wood

Condor CON-XDS-2308 — 8 x 230 mm wood auger bit is a spiral drill made for creating deep, clean holes in timber and softwood. With an 8 mm cutting diameter and 230 mm overall length, this auger bit provides extended reach for through-holes and deep bore tasks using hand or power drills. The spiral profile removes chips efficiently while the threaded tip helps to pull the bit into the material for steady, controlled drilling in carpentry and general woodworking.

Advantages

The auger design ensures fast chip evacuation and reduced binding during long holes. Its threaded lead point improves bite and tracking, making it easier to start holes without excessive axial force. The 230 mm length gives added reach where standard bits are too short, and the 8 mm diameter is suitable for precise dowel, bolt, or pilot holes in wood. The spiral flute geometry promotes consistent hole quality and helps maintain drill stability.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep through-holes in softwood and timber
• Creating pilot holes for dowels, screws or bolts in carpentry and joinery
• General woodworking tasks requiring clean, straight bores

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 8 mm
• Total length: 230 mm
• Type: spiral/auger wood bit
• Cut geometry: threaded lead and spiral flute for chip removal
• Compatible with: hand drills and power drills with appropriate chuck

How to use

Secure the auger bit in the drill chuck and tighten firmly. Mark the drilling point on the workpiece and position the threaded tip at the start point. Apply steady axial pressure and run the drill at a moderate speed appropriate for the wood species. Allow the threaded lead to draw the bit into the wood, keeping the drill aligned to maintain a straight bore. Withdraw the bit occasionally when drilling deep holes to clear chips if chip evacuation becomes restricted.

Usage recommendations

Use moderate drill speeds with softwoods to avoid splintering and excessive heat. For long or deep holes, periodically pull the bit out to clear chips and reduce friction. Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses and hearing protection when operating power tools.
